Yesterday, I began my pre-op classes which will end at the end of July and so, I am expecting a surgery date in August 2014. That seems so far away right now, but I'd like to jump in feet first from the start. I'm looking forward to sharing and supporting each other in this journey!

I'm scheduled for August 4 with Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallerta. I've been reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" and just working on preparing mentally and emotionally. I am fortunate that a good friend is traveling with my to be my encourager and supporter.

Hello All :) I'm Michelle ( my family calls me Micky). This is my first post. I just wanted to say Hiiiiiii.

My surgery date is set for August 25 @ OCC and I'm so excited. A big decision but I am so ready to

change my life style. The nutritionist tells me I need to aim for a total loss of 26lbs before surgery

(found that out this morning) so its a good thing I started my day with a Protein shake LOL

Anyhow I just wanted to say hi. I look forward to getting to know all of you as we embark on this journey together,

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
